It's sunnah, which means it's the tradition of our prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In another Hadith, reported by Abu Dawood, it states that 'The removal of harm is shaving the head. ' Muslims believe that shaving a baby's head removes him from harm and weakness.
The scholars say that the father holds this duty because Allah has commanded in the Quran that the child, male or female, be called by the name of its father. This means that the father's name will become part of his child's name.
It is sunnah to perform aqiqah on the seventh day after a child is born. Samurah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The boy is held in pledge by his aqiqah; slaughtering should be done for him on the seventh day, he should be given a name, and his head should be shaved.”
